Attenuator
Automatically suppresses sound distortion caused by loud noises. Even
if [Sound rec.] is set to [Auto] or [Manual] for shooting, sound
distortion may still result if there is a very loud sound. In such a case,
setting it to [Enable] is recommended.
Using a microphone
Normally, the built-in microphones will record the sound in stereo.
If an external stereo microphone equipped with a miniature stereo
plug (3.5 mm diameter) is connected to the camera's external
microphone IN terminal (p.29), the external microphone will be given
the priority. Using the Directional Stereo Microphone DM-E1 (sold
separately) is recommended.
If you use the Wi-Fi (wireless communication) function with an external
microphone, the sound noise may be recorded. During sound recording,
using the wireless communication function is not recommended.
The camera's built-in microphones will also record the operation sound
and mechanical sound of the camera during shooting. Using Directional
Stereo Microphone DM-E1 (sold separately) may reduce such sounds in
the movie.
When connecting an external microphone to the camera, be sure to
insert the plug all the way in.
Do not connect anything other than an external microphone to the
camera's external microphone IN terminal.
In Basic Zone modes, the settings available for [Sound recording] will
be [On] or [Off]. If [On] is set, the sound-recording level will be adjusted
automatically (same as with [Auto]), and the wind filter function will take
effect.
The sound volume balance between L (left) and R (right) cannot be
adjusted.
Sound is recorded at a 48 kHz/16-bit sampling rate.
